Man's Greatest Challenge Poem by Chris Embrick

The greatest challenge facing man
will never be to conquer space
We've fought wars for millennia
the clock ticking on the human race

Until mankind rules with the heart
there'slittle valuable to gain
What good is there in leaving earth
until the peace down here remains

Light years away on virgin soil
unless we change, we'll still need laws
We've overcome earth's gravity
but left behind our human flaws

The Watchers of the Milky Way
look on our progress without fear
Soon gone from their galactic charts
the planet, earth we love so dear.
